The People of the United States and China Unite. Rally to Your Leaders to Destroy Japanese Militarism. (Chinese-language banner)
A horizontal Chinese-language banner pairs portraits of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Chiang Kai-shek above the American and Chinese flags. The tell for transfer is the pairing of the two leaders and flags with the call to unite; the slogan's 'violent Japan' (暴日) is a loaded label, name-calling.
